A report on money laundering says members of the former B-C Liberal government knew large amounts of suspicious cash was
circulating at Vancouver-area casinos, but didn’t do enough to prevent the crime.
The inquiry report by former B.C. Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullen says there is no evidence of political or personal
corruption, but the anti-money laundering actions taken by the former government were not enough to stop the flow of illegal cash
in the province.
Cullen’s report says former gaming ministers Rich Coleman, Mike de Jong and Shirley Bond, and former premier Christy Clark, each
took some anti-money laundering actions with limited results.
The final report from the money laundering inquiry looks into cash from organized crime being filtered through British Columbia
casinos and the real estate industry.
It says there is no evidence of political or personal corruption, but the anti-money-laundering actions taken by the former government
were not enough to stop the flow of illegal cash in the province.
